Namespace: Microsoft.Web.Services2.Security.Tokens
Assembly: Microsoft.Web.Services2 (in microsoft.web.services2.dll)

Usage

'Usage
Dim element As XmlElement
Dim returnValue As SecurityToken
returnValue = SecurityTokenManager.GetTokenFromXml(element)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Function GetTokenFromXml( _
    ByVal element As XmlElement _
) As SecurityToken

public static SecurityToken GetTokenFromXml(
    XmlElement element
);

public: static SecurityToken^ GetTokenFromXml(
    XmlElement^ element
);

public static SecurityToken GetTokenFromXml(
    XmlElement element
);

public static function GetTokenFromXml(
     element : XmlElement
) : SecurityToken;

Parameters

element
The System.Xml.XmlElement to be deserialized into a SecurityToken.

Return Value

The SecurityToken that is deserialized from the element parameter.

Remarks

When the security token type that is referenced in the XML element has not been determined, use the GetTokenFromXml method. The GetTokenFromXml method determines the security token type referenced in the XML element and then calls the LoadTokenFromXml method of the security token manager for that security token type.

When the security token type referenced in the KeyInfo clause is known, call the LoadTokenFromKeyInfo method of the security tokens manager for the security token type.
